In depth
Verdict
Jemura has had wind surgery since a poor hurdling debut over this trip at Kempton in May. Kruger Park never really got involved at Plumpton last month and stable jockey Harry Cobden is on board TOSS OF A COIN for the yard. A faller in his first two starts between the flags, he easily won a point at Tattersalls Farm in April and can make a successful start over timber. Annie Express won a point at Loughrea and was in touch for a long way on her hurdling bow over shorter here last month.
